While it's clearly quite powerful, this is mostly a win-more card. At 
, it cannot win a game on its own when it hits the table, unless you have at least one creature on the field, and ideally of reasonable size to get the most out of its abilities. This is also hilarious with 0/1 Eldrazi Spawn tokens (I know they have their own Eldrazi Monument, I just find it highly amusing to strike first, trample, and lifelink for 0)!
I find that one of the abilities that is often overlooked is the lifelink - this can swing games in your favor by messing up the combat math. Combine this with possibly making your entire army unblockable (if you are playing against red or black, or someone who is short on flyers), and this can make for a massive life swing, allowing you to absorb a hit from your opponent you otherwise would not be able to survive. It also makes attacking into your forces a potentially risky proposition. However, there aren't many situations when you can p... (see all)

@BKG007 - that's not correct. The dragon tokens you put out with Utvara Hellkite can't then be declared as attackers, as you only get one chance to declare attackers, all your attackers are declared at this point, and any creatures that enter after this point - such as the dragons from Utvara's trigger - can't then be declared as attackers.

Fun fact: She's holding a Sword of Vengeance. We have an Akroma, Angel of Wrath and an Akroma, Angel of Fury. WHERE IS MY AKROMA, ANGEL OF VENGEANCE!?!?!?!

1)march of the machines.
2) this is strictly better than akroma. it costs less, can get into decks of any color (like green decks that have 7 mana turn 4) and gives you way more than 6/6 with those abilities. done it with omnath, locus of mana and primordial hydra- boom.
edit: not strictly better. sorry for throwing this around.

I'd love if they made an Unhinged card called 'Public Vandalism' with the exact same art as this card but with a big "PHAGE RULZ!!" in spray paint across the front of the statue.
